The Old J Story

Flavours fit for any tongue

OLD J GOLD

Crafted in small batches from our pot still in the British Virgin Islands and aged in oak barrels for between 12 and 24 months before being blended with our special range of spices, Old J Gold is our pure, premium rum.

Not as sweet or spicy as the original, but with a big whack of vanilla in the mix, it is the perfect spiced rum for real rum enthusiasts or people who like the idea of rum, but are not a fan of dark alternatives. Old J Gold was the only spiced rum to be awarded the ultimate Master status at the 2016 Rum Master awards and is perfect with a mixer or in a cocktail.

OLD J TIKI

The origins of Old J date back to 1740, when an admiral decided to enforce a reduction in the British Navy´s much-loved rum ration. Old J Tiki Fire redresses this historic reduction by increasing the strength to 151 proof, but keeps the spices, lime and sugar that make Old J what it is.

Tiki Fire is based on the same recipe as the original spiced Old J, but is bottled at an intense 75.5% ABV. Created with cocktail enthusiasts in mind, it is designed to add some heat to your mixology but also makes for a real fire-in-the-throat shot experience. Recognised with a Gold Award at the 2017 Rum Masters, it may taste like the original and smell like the original, but Tiki Fire is a different beast. You’ll know it when you feel it.

OLD J CHERRY

Look elsewhere if you’re after a liqueur. Old J Cherry is very much a spiced rum, with all the flavour Old J lovers have come to expect, but with the extra taste of sweet, sour marasca cherry.

Inspired by our customers, it is perfect at a party or with a pudding (you have to try it with chocolate). The flavour and colour is far from subtle, but Old J Cherry’s rounded fruitiness also works brilliantly in a range of cocktails, like our very own Cherry Bake Punch, or simply mixed with cola.

OLD J SILVER

Introducing the world’s first white spiced rum. Old J Silver retains some of the main flavour notes of Old J original, keeping the smooth toffee, sweet lime and heady vanilla hit. However, the heavy spicing of the other Old J styles have been toned right down to allow the more subtle, un-aged white rum to shine.

With its clear colour and breadth of flavours, Old J Silver really shines in its versatility. While it can add an extra element to many cocktails, it's particularly good for light, summery, rum-based drinks like a Mojito, Mai Tai or Pornstar Martini. For something simpler, it also blends beautifully with simple fruit mixers such as passion fruit or Ting.

OLD J SPICED

Admiral Vernon's Old J Spiced Rum is a premium spirit made with Caribbean rum from Trinidad and Barbados. Blended with spices, sweet vanilla and Persian lime, it took over sixty trials before the right mix of ingredients was found and the smooth and spicy flavour profile was born.

With a well-rounded taste of spice and toffee, the original Old J is best enjoyed when simply served over ice with coke or ginger beer and a couple of fresh lime wedges. For an extra kick of citrus, you should drag a lime around the top of the glass before serving.
